The best thing I did for my youtube viewing experience was download an extension that allows me to block entire channels. Now when I don't like a thumbnail? Blam, obliterate it, never see it again - and youtube is none the wiser. Youtube has no choice but to bring me weird music videos and retro game reviews.

You know, needing to add basic functionality to a platform yourself to fight back against the forces of enshittification is something tumblr trained me well for. You need like 5 third party extensions to make this site remotely usable.

Bitch you don’t need a plug-in for that just hit do not recommend channel

No, "Do not recommend" is telling youtube "This made me feel something (anger? disgust?) enough to click on it" and then youtube goes "Oh extremely noted" and starts sprinkling that kind of video onto your homepage, because a hateclick is still a click.

If you don't want to see it anymore, get an extension to remove it forever.

Fool.

i did not expect this to get notes. anyways heres the links to Return YouTube Dislike: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/return-youtube-dislikes/ and https://returnyoutubedislike.com/

and also heres the link to YouTube Enhancer (has really cool features like filters and the rewatch statistics bar): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/

you may have to play around with the settings to get a result that you want, but go nuts, have fun, go watch your favorite youtube videos

These kinds of things give me hope

“I have very little knowledge of gay people and things like that there, so when I came here, my eyes were opened,” he told the state Assembly’s Health, Aging and Long-Term Care Committee just after 9 p.m. “I was one of the critics that sat on the side and made the decision there was only two genders, so I got an education that was unbelievable. And I don’t know just exactly how to say this, but my perspective for people has changed. … I’d like to apologize for being here, and I learned a very lot about this group of people.”

After he spoke, several attendees applauded.
